One reason can be found in the numerous companies/corporations where the management style unfairly exploits employees in non-management tiers. Unrealistic goals. Overly compressed timelines for tasks. Unpaid overtime (think weekend work). Theft of credit for ideas and execution. Wage compression. Malicious office politics."Old boy networking."
The enemy of capitalism is the Peter Principle. Incompetents rise to the top like poisoned creme in the milk. Those of us without management skills, and know it, try to resist this effect, with varying degrees of success. The problem? Compensation all too often is linked with how many people work for you. This creates an untenable tension.
Consider what is happening in the job market right now. Perfectly capable recent college graduates are finding that there is a brick wall between them and their first real job. Many reasons for that problem: AI, massive layoffs, death spiral of legacy companies, political meddling (think unsustainable minimum wage), and more.
The root of Socialism is "kill out the old rascals, bring in the new rascals, with me at the top." It's not about equality. And you can forget about meritocracy. It's all about ME, ME, ME and the rest of you can go hang.
I'll go and gum my soup now.
